Half Shell Oyster House Birmingham

Nice. They get all 5 stars because they covered all the bases. Professionalism, cleanliness, quality, reasonable price, and honesty ( they were upfront regarding wait times ). The gem we discovered was the fried okra! I don't think this side dish gets its due. The waitress should say, " you gotta try Our Okra!".

Love love love this place Visiting Birmingham for the first time and exploring all the seafood places and this place is definitely one of my favorite. I had a whole dozen of raw oysters by myself they were the biggest oysters I have ever seen and they tasted so good, the seafood dip was amazing and the kids' popcorn shrimp was good. Hanna our server made the experience more than GREAT. She is super nice and very attentive.

I wish I could leave 0 stars. The food is really great - if you eat on the inside. This is the second trash to go order I've received from Half Shell. First in Trussville and now Downtown. I would strongly suggest if you would like your food to go, order it inside the package it up yourself. The shrimp and grits have never looked like this and been so subpar. Grits were terrible and oil was gross. I'll still patronize but I'll never order another to go meal.
